Tuesday morning greetings!  We had a very quiet holiday weekend, the highlight of which was Fr. Richard conducting the service at his church in Dayton.  It was his 4th Sunday in a row of being up front in various churches (vacation season, you know) and he’s pretty tired this week.

Relaxation vibes for Richard.

Sounds like it was a lovely weekend.

BK, I’m sending you my best health vibes as you seek a diagnosis.  Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but have they ruled out Bell’s palsy?  Richard has had it twice with symptoms very similar to those you describe.

I had weird dreams last night of two parallel worlds that you could only get to by swimming through a relatively small hole of water. There were no oxygen tanks and you had to hold your breath for more than a minute to get from one side to the other. One side had nothing blue in it, so the few of us who could do this were taking blue items across. I was getting tired, but I was determined to take a patch of blue irises across. The flowers were not likely to survive, but the plants themselves might. The blues in the dream were vivid.

Best health vibes for BK. And for all of us.

That's one crazy ass story, DR Elmore. One delay after another, similar to BK's deal with Cedars and all, and these are all things that need to be tended to.

TOD:

I have to say that getting tumors on both kidneys resulting in 15% of each being removed is easily the biggest health challenges I have faced, though having diabetes, apnea and glaucoma are three conditions that are with me for life.

Inspirational notes, BK; so sorry you have been dealing with that and understandably keeping it to yourself. On top of having the congestion gunk, it’s remarkable you’ve been writing a book and preparing shows. Just know your little online family is here for you. And try to maintain some sort of regular sleep pattern if possible.

Stepping out of a cool apartment into the hall is like stepping into a really overheated sauna. Thanksully, I'm back. As soon as I dry off, I'll make the bed.

The kidney/appendix surgery in 2020 was frightening, but it was nothing compared to my fears between May-June and November 1999.
